I chose it for multiple reasons. The top being: Prestige, Course value, professors, location

Course Curriculum

10

Excellent course. 100% updated. In fact we're not only learning how the industry operates currently, but what it should be moving towards. I've been working as a TA in my second semester, and also participated in some competitions to gain experience

Exams

I had to take the IELTS; GRE was waived at the time but recommended. I don't know if it's required currently

Placement

10

Pretty good. Most students get placed, however, high amount of individual effort is required to secure a job/internship. Salary is usually upward of $70k a year.

Internship

Yes, I've got a summer internship at PwC, New York.

Fees

Its about $30,000 per semester. My course is 3 semesters. This does not include the rent, general expenses or health insurance.

Faculty

10

They are very approachable. Leaders in their fields. I suggest speaking up every time you feel you have something to discuss, they are happy to listen and give you more insight

Campus Life

Campus life is great. I got elected into the Student Government in my first semester so I could be involved in improving it even more. Libraries are plentiful, my favourite is the Butler library, it's got a lot of halls and rooms designed for different needs. Lots of exploring to do if you're into that. Events are top class.

Hostel

6

I've leased an apartment in the vicinity of the campus. It's about a 7 minute walk to school. I'm sharing with 2 other grad students and our rent in total is $3,400 per month. The location is absolutely amazing and this rent is one of the more affordable ones you'll find in this area.
